Tetish
Short Info

Tetish is the brainchild of Etan Salomon and Itai Street.

The duo have been active members of the local Tel-Aviv indie music scene for a number years now, both having released material while working on different projects, but it wasn’t until after the long-time friends started to play around with a few ideas towards the end of 2014 that they discovered they were able to take each other’s music to the next level.

18 months on and the pair have achieved a dynamic sound perfectly encapsulated on their debut album, with a medley of influences from pop and rock all the way through to classical and middle eastern music, giving Tetish a deep, rich, complex and ultimately unique sound.

Both Salomon (vocals/keyboards) and Street (keyboards/vocals) are classically trained musicians, which becomes apparent on the record as they showcase their skills through the quality of their musicianship and arrangements. Their sound is further enhanced by Nir Shlomo (guitars/vocals), Noam Shacham (bass/vocals) and Daniel Azta (drums/vocals).

Tetish are intensely determined to expose the world to their sound as they attempt to reach and relate to as many people as they possibly can. It’s been a great start for the band as their demos were picked up by some of the biggest local radio stations as well as being picked up for CMW in Toronto, CMJ in New York and this summer’s WOMAD Festival in the UK, as part of the band's UK debut tour. These days, the band is already working on new material, and will continue touring and playing around Europe throughout the year. Dates will be announced soon.

"Tetish‘ CMJ debut was nothing short of spectacular. Playing at Fat Baby in lower Manhattan, Tetish awed their audience with their powerful vocals and indisputably powerful stage presence. Despite the noise of many people packed into the smaller Manhattan venue Etan‘s voice carried strongly through everyone’s ears so much so that all eye’s were on her for the entire show. Listening with eyes and ears, layers of indie percussion and soulful groovy beats threw the listener back to reminiscent days of an earlier slightly edgier Cardigans. Tetish left the entire room hungering for more! Definitely an artist to keep an eye on." - Cougar Microbes, London

"Today's popular music takes many different forms and shapes, and the free flowing melodies and apt song structures from Tel Aviv indie power-pop band Tetish are nothing short of commercial brilliance. With their self titled album set to be released, the only way is up for the pop duo". - The Vinyl District (Tetish were chosen as UK artist of the week).

"Tel Aviv's Tetish are intelligent, soothing+completely addictive"- Clash

"Their music has an easy charm and an instant appeal, It’s neat and unfussy in a classy way, leaning on quality songwriting as opposed to flashy gimmicks or tricks, with Etan Salomon’s voice the key element; she can switch from hushed introspection to power ballad in the blink of an eye, and knows exactly when to do so" - Drowned in Sound, London
"Immediately Beguiling" - Clash
"The debut self-titled album from Tel-Aviv based indie-electro band Tetish is a high octane, heartfelt pop album, accompanied by undeniably catchy melodies and instrumental intricacies that gives the band’s debut more of a unique sound compared to other current alternative pop artists." - Fortitude Magazine
